referenced in the USN-4283-1 advisory.
Felipe Franciosi, Raphael Norwitz, and Peter Turschmid discovered that QEMU incorrectly handled iSCSI
server responses. A remote attacker in control of the iSCSI server could use this issue to cause QEMU to
crash, leading to a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2020-1711)
It was discovered that the QEMU libslirp component incorrectly handled memory. A remote attacker could use
this issue to cause QEMU to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code.
(CVE-2020-7039, CVE-2020-8608)
Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.
